Tomhawk Is Eating His Cake And Having It Too (CBL)

Just a heads up. Anabolic Minds has an article about Carb Back Loading. It is pretty decent. Gives a decent idea about the diet. Something to look into if you are interested in the diet.
 
Shoulder and triceps Friday. Decided to use some wrist wraps i got years ago. My wrist was bothering me enough to test them out. Seemed to help some. Only went up to 235 on seated bb press then dropped to 185 and repped it out. Kept the cable upright row PSR with a rep out. Decided to go a little lighter on db lateral raise. Tried close grip bench press elect for the first time in a while. The wrist wraps made them ok to handle. Even did some dips. Forgot how much they sucked when you are heavy haha. Then did some triceps cable ext.

Today did back. A few different ways to do lat pulldowns. Did some tbar rows on the machine style. Kept more parallel to the ground and let it stretch me. Saw a guy doing bent over rows with a trap bar might give them a shot some time. Seemed like he could get real good ROM. Then did some rear delt work. Finished with trap bar shrugs.

Today I had about a pound of ground beef. For dinner I had jasmine rice, chicken, and sweet potatoes. Was still hungry so had a small bowl of fruity pebbles. Went to go watch the UFC fights. Had 6 chicken tenders, some fries, and 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream topped with caramel. Haha I ate more than I planned.
 
Monday I ended up doing chest and biceps. Not a fan of doing chest on Mondays for obvious reasons. Ended up lifting with Hector and Roy. Schedules lined up so I figured why not.

Started off with flat bench. Basically what they do is partials. It is a set of partials and then the lock out. It isnt something I am used to so I dont mind trying it out every now and then. Went up to 385. Felt pretty good and the lock out was the easy part haha.

Then did incline smith machine. Basically pyramid up and then 1 set down. Really like the stretch on this. Again a bit of a partial but working on the important part of the movement.

Finished chest supersetting dips with pec deck.

From here I continued my workout on my own. Did a set of lat pulldowns and then 2 sets of seated cable rows.

Did db curls for the first time in a while. Only did 25s but did 3 sets of 12. Felt good to be able to do these without pain.

Then 2 sets of hammer curls with 65s for sets of 9 reps.

Finished with 3 sets of 10 reps on rope triceps ext using the fat grips.
 
Just want to make a note I just checked my weight and it was 257. So clearly I am no longer 260. So far haven't noticed a real dip in strength. Tomorrow will be doing chest again. Going to try and be consistent with updates.

Edit: make that 256.2 haha.
 
Did chest/biceps today.

Warmed up on flat bench. Some pain in my right shoulder where the chest ties in. Been bothering me more lately.

Incline bb elect fat gripz extreme 185/225/255/285/315 drop to 245 for 8 reps.
Decline bb lower half only 3 sets of 8 with the last having 2 negatives. Used 265 for all 3 sets.
Db pullover 2 sets of 8 with 90
Flat bb pause press fail with 345. Then tried 315 got 1 but the 2nd was a struggle. Not sure exactly what was the cause. Could be strength decrease in pct or fatigue from decline bb which seemed to zap my power more than doing it elect.

Lat pulldowns 3 sets of 10 with 200
Db curls with fat gripz extreme 3 sets of 10 with 25s
Hammer curls PSR 6/4/3/3/3 using 15/30/45/55/60
1 arm standing concentration curls using fat gripz extreme using 40 for 10,9,8

Chest stretch dc style with dbs. Used 50s for 10 then 40 seconds. Maybe this will help strengthen that area given me problems. One can only hope.

Rope triceps ext with fat gripz extreme 3 sets of 10 with 70/80/90

Try not to make this too personal of a log but today I went and saw my grandma. She is 93 years old. Hospice said it isn't looking good and suggested seeing her before it is too late. It is crazy to say but she will be the 1st person to die who I am really close with. It is something I knew was coming I mean she is 93 but it still stings. She has always been around. Swear she is the toughest old lady. Hard to see her in such a frail state.
 
Was thinking about taking today off. But then I got into bed to take a nap. There was a big spot of cat piss. Definitely decided to go lift before I killed my sisters cat.

Squats 45*20, 135*10, 225*5, 275*5, 315*5, 335*5, 355*5, 315*5
Leg ext 6 sets of 10 reps short rest 115/115/100/100/85/85

Seated leg curls PSR 75/120/165/195/210 drop to 165 rep out
Db stiff leg deadlifts 2 sets of 15 with 60s

Seated calf raise 4 sets of 8 180/135/135/135

Ab wheel 3 sets of 10
Land mines 2 sets of 10

Checked weight after a meal and it was just under 255 with clothes on no shoes. So weight is dropping fairly quick. Hoping it is fat. Was able to get the 3rd notch on my belt but still a bit too tight to actually squat with.
 
Another shoulder/triceps day.

Seated bb press fat gripz elect 135/165/195/215/235
Standing cable upright rows psr
Db lateral raise 2 sets of 8 with 50s
Tried push press but wrist disagreed

Close grip bench fat gripz elect 135/185/225/255/275 for sets of 5 instead of 3
Lying db ext 30s for 2 sets of 14
Seated overhead db ext 2 sets of 10 with the last having 3 negatives

1 arm db standing concentration curls fat grips 55 for 7, 45 for 10, 35 for 13
Standing cable curls with fat gripz extreme 3 sets of 10 with 70/80/90
 
Did back on Thursday. Nothing too crazy. But I did do some speed pulls with 405. Got the attention of someone in the boot camp class next door haha. Overall a decent workout. My forearms hurt later from the extra grip work using the fat gripz.

Was just going to do arms today and have an ultra low carb day, but ended up getting Chinese food so had to do a little more than arms. Decided chest wasn't an option yet so legs.

Squats 45*20,135*10 then sets of 5 reps 225, 275, 315, 345, 365, 325. To be honest it was a little hard to concentrate. A guy I used to see regularly with his son was there with I am guessing his wife or gf. To be honest she was way too hot to be his wife haha. They were doing legs also.
Leg press 360*15, 450*15, 15
Leg ext 115*15, 15, 15
After this my quads were so pumped. Decided to do DC stretch for my quads. It hurt so good.

Seated leg curls psr
Db stiff leg deadlifts 3 sets of 15 with 60s

Seated calf raise 100 reps as few as sets as possible (pain)
Seated calf press 3 sets of 10 reps
Tibialas(sp?) raise

Felt like I was going to have to crawl out of the gym. A far cry from the workout I had in mind earlier in the day.
 
Monday went and did a hypertrophy workout for a bench press program competition. It seemed to help before when I tried it. Had gotten me over a hurdle before. Right now my issue is my right shoulder/pec. Going to try and strengthen this area before it gets worse. Afterwards I did a little light biceps.

Wednesday did shoulders and arms. Pretty quick workout. The usual shoulder workout: seated BB press, cable upright rows, and side DB laterals. Then did 2 supersets of arms. Going to try and make more of an effort to get them to grow.

Today was back starting with deadlifts. Trying a different approach/set up plus 5 sets of 3 reps. It was 315/365/415/465/525 Felt good on all sets. Didnt really have any chalk so a little slippage on the last rep.

Then basically a new back workout. Tried out a few new things plus a few regulars. Basically the new stuff was John Meadows inspired. Plus did a little arms to finish off the workout. Took a while to complete but worth the extra effort I think.

Debating if I plan on lifting tomorrow or not. Chest makes the most sense but I will see how I feel. Might just rest tomorrow.
 
Can't a guy just lurk and not be called out. Geesh.

Haha I like to exaggerate. In fact on that page alone 2 other people posted. But it has been a bit quiet on here. I can still tell people are checking because the views are still going up.

Last night did chest. Convinced someone else to lift with me haha. Beats having to ask people for a spot all the time haha.

Started off warming up:
Flat single arm DB press 5 sets of 10, 3 sec neg 5 sec concentric weight was 15/20/25/30/35

Incline DB press ELECT 4 sets of 10 reps with 75 pounds. Felt much easier than last time.
Decline BB press lower half only 3 sets of 8 reps with 245. Again much easier and more natural. Then did a set of 4 pause press and 3 negatives with 275. Not sure why but decline felt MUCH easier this time around. Was at the usual place I lift.
Flat DB flyes with extension 2 sets of 6 reps with 45s
Bent over BB rows 1 set of 15 reps with 185. Supposed to be reverse grip but wrist wont allow it.
Hammer curls PSR 4-3-3-3-3 weights used were as follows 25/40/55/65/70 then dropped down and repped out with a lighter weight alternating. Not real sure on the weight used now but close enough haha.
Scapular pulldowns 3 sets of 12 plus a 10 second hold for an additional rep weight used for all 3 sets was 150.
Drag flags 3 sets of 6 reps

Then decided to do core
Ab wheel 3 sets of 10 reps
Wood chops 2 sets of 12
Landmines 2 sets of 10 each side
 
TOMAHAWKKKKKKK.

Going great right now. After my cycle cut back on the carbs. Well stopped doing carbs on rest days haha. This helped strip some fat. Strength is still strong. Did close grip ELECT with fat gripz extreme today 305 for 3. Pretty soon I will switch to Carb Nite Solution. Right now I am about 250 and that is just too much. Being realistic with myself I am fat. Might do something drastic and take weekly pics of my gut and use it as my background for my phone. Talk about motivation haha.

Thanks for chiming in. Also welcome here in my log.

Ya I think I will wait till I am done with Prometheus Rising and Primal Male. Then I will do a 10 day prep phase and start low carbing. During that time I will deload. I can tell my body is craving a break. Probably why my sleep has been crappy lately. Finding it harder to fall asleep which hadn't been a problem as of late.
 
I was thinking today's leg workout was going to destroy them.

Leg ext: 1 set of 20 warm up
Seated leg curl: 1 set of 20 warm up

Lying leg curl: 1 set of 20 warm up, 15 reps, 12 reps, 8 reps, then use 12 rep weight for 10 reps followed by 21 partials
Bb stiff leg deadlifts using 25s instead of 45s: 2 sets of 10 warm up 95 pounds, 2 sets of 10 with 195 pounds

Squats: 45*20, 135*10, 225*5, 275*5, 315*5, 345*5, 365*5, 325*5 then stretch
Leg press 3 sec negative explode up: started with 1 plate working up to work set weight. Used 5 plates for 3 sets of 10 reps then stretch
Hack squats 3 sets of 10 reps 2 plates each side 3 sec negative. 3rd set drop set 1 plate for 15 reps going to the bottom releasing weight and exploding up.

I definitely felt the workout but wasn't quite destroyed as I expect. Don't get me wrong I was beat. Heck I sat down to change my shoes and when I tried to stand up I fell right back down. Can't imagine doing a similar workout while low carbing.
 
I'm in the process of reading through this monster but since it'll prob take me a few days I figure ill just ask what your overall thoughts are after doing CBL for awhile? Lean up at all? Strength/mass increase? Enjoyment ha? Just a brief synopsis if you don't mind. I've been looking through a million CBL related logs and this is only the second that has been thorough and lengthy

I have to be honest this log is pretty crappy when it comes to basing an opinion of CBL. It is a bunch of my ramblings.

With that said I think CBL is great. When I keep my carbs on just days I lift and my carb eating within 4 hours of my workout it works great to lean me out. Others can probably be a little more lenient. The upper limit of the body fat % that is considered ideal is 15% and I know I am above that so I have to tweak it to work for me. I am going to switch to Carb Nite Solution to really get my weight down so I can see even better results with CBL.

I would say it is easy to make strength and mass gains on CBL. Even just taking protein, creatine, and leucine I have made great gains. Has made me consider not doing more cycles. Which is pretty crazy when you consider I usually add 75 pounds to my deadlift for cycles.

By far this has been my most enjoyable diet. Make great gains while eating foods I love. Last night I beat my legs up so I decided to food my body. Had jasmine rice, beef mei fun, and boneless spare ribs all mixed together. Did that meal twice. After the 1st one I had a over ripe banana. Then an hour after my 2nd meal I had a small square of some rice cake and a big bowl of strawberry ice cream with a banana. What other diet is going to not only allow that but consider that ideal?

That last sentence is one of the major reasons that this diet is so appealing to me. I have no problem constructing and following a rigid diet and getting myself down to 7-8%bf but it really burns me out both mentally and physically after 16 weeks or so. It'd be nice to have something like this to switch up to after that and be able to avoid serious fat gain and still add the muscle and strength back that you can lose while cutting. Did you end up sticking pretty close to the carb amounts that JK suggests after your carb depletion or did you have to tweak alot? And how clean did you keep them to still lean out?

Just don't use it as an excuse to eat like a fat and then blame then diet if you get fat haha. I think it would be great to test out in the off season though.
To be honest I don't really count my macros. It is a lot of guesstimating. The important things in my opinion are pre workout fat, protein, and carbs. Making sure I eat enough fat. Getting close to half my bw in grams for protein. Keeping carbs as low as possible. Then I would say post training make sure I get enough protein. Post workout I wait 20ish minutes, I have my shake, wait 30 then eat as much protein and carbs as I want/can. About an hour later I have a small dessert like ice cream or turnovers. I try to keep it as simple as I can, but then again I still have plenty of body fat I can lose.

Ha ya I love how all of his stuff on the outside shows total junk but once you read deeper he's really against eating garbage. But cake sells ha. I'm fine not overindulging as I eat extremely clean 99% of the time anyways but on a cut its so tempting to cheat and eat a tub of ice cream or pizza which in my case wrecks me for like 4 days. Flexible is the key here. Thanks for all the info. Def subbed for the good convo going on as well ha

Don't get me wrong there are people who can eat a lot of junk. Right now I am not one of them though. I do eat my share of junk just have to plan it. Need to get my body fat down so I can really have some fun haha.

Trust me if you do this diet you wont. I got leaner on this diet haha.

Later I will post about my workout. Did chest and added a little back at the end.
 
Alright todays workout

Single arm DB press 5 sets of 10 reps 3 sec neg 5 sec concentric 15/20/25/30/35
Incline DB press 4 sets of 10 reps 80 for all sets
Decline BB press 3 sets of 8 reps lower half only 255 for all 3 sets
Decline BB press 1 set of 4 pause press and 3 negatives 275
DB flyes with ext 2 set of 6 reps 45s

Then I start doing some John Meadow inspired back work. Mostly feeling out the exercises and weights.

Meadows row
Stretchers, felt like my lats were being pulled to grow haha
1 arm lat pulldowns
Reeves deadlift

The back portion still needs some fine tuning as far as programming and weight but it was fun. Might try and add some back work on most days.
 
Alright get ready for a LONG post haha. Got a lot to ramble on about today. Here is a preview: workout, food, girls. Time to get this show on the road.

Today I did arms. Basically got the routine from John Meadows on tnation article. Changed it a little here and there. Some because of exercise selection(hurt my wrist) and a little added volume.

Ez bar reverse curls 5 sets of 10 reps with 10 second rest between sets. Used 55 pounds for this.
Cross body hammer curls 3 sets of 10 reps finish 1 side then the other
Preacher curl machine 3 sets of 8 reps Didnt do so hot on these. Couldnt get the right weight.
BB curls with 3 second descent 2 sets of 8 reps

Rope pushdowns with fat gripz 4 sets of 12 reps 1 second squeeze at bottom
Dips on machine 3 sets of 8 reps 3 second negative drive the weight down hard
Incline ez bar ex 3 sets of 15 reps
JM press

My arms took a beating. Hopefully they will be ready for more come Saturday night. I definitely fed them enough haha. Only problem was I gave a leg routine to Hector and Roy. Had to explain a few things to them. Caused for some extra long rest periods which I was hoping to avoid. They definitely got a workout though. Hector said he is going to have to pay me back.

The start of my post workout feeding window wasnt ideal. Had to go to the grocery store to pick some food up. Thought it might have been a bit rushed but made it work. I have found 4 hours post workout has been a pretty good time frame for me as far as carbs.
Started off with my protein shake.
0.75 pounds of 93% ground beef, half pack of mashed potatoes, corn, topped with cheese
0.3 pounds of 93% ground beef, half pack of mashed potatoes, 4 eggs topped with cheese
Half a pint of mango sorbet
Half a dozen glazed donuts

As you can see I went to town on some food haha. This kind of eating would be more appropriate(for me) on a leg or back day. Hopefully the calories go to good use and my arms GROW. Another thing to consider is tomorrow is a rest day therefore an ultra low carb day. Picked up some ingredients to make ultra low carb coconut shrimp for tomorrow.

Alright some updates as far as girls. Was still talking to Autumn but she disappeared on me. Kind of sucked to be honest. Had been talking about more real stuff not just bs.
That was the bad news. Now for some good news. Friends are having a party for the start of spring this Saturday. SHOULD have a lot of girls there. But we all know just because a girl says she is going to do something doesnt mean she actually will haha. Might be a sign of things to come. The guy who owns the house recently got divorced. Enough time for him to want to move on a fack girls a decade or more younger than him haha. On top of that he has a pool. For some reason he doesnt mind having me around. He is part of a group of people my sister was friends with(spends less time with them since she no longer drinks). I would say these group of people have seen most of my crazy drunk antics. Some how they still put up with me.
Back on the dating website. Been chatting up a few girls. 2 of them particularly busty haha. Mehh we will see if I ever meet up with them. Kind of nice to tune up my lacking game.
 
Holy hell. Beastly feeding you had there ha. Half a dozen donuts?! That's like 3 years worth for me. You may wake up with 30" arms today if that goes to the right places.
 
Good Meal when I was running eq and test a common meal of mine was two double doubles and 3 fries from in and out followed by a box of krispy kreme .lol

That isnt my typical post workout nutrition haha. Ususually I only have 2 meals, the 1st and the last 1. But I was still pretty damn hungry after the 1st one. The donuts were nothing special but I did warm them up so they tasted better. But hell they were a $1 haha. Nope they are still small haha.

They're ok....the price vs. what you get....not justifiable IMO. Everyone should experience some In and Out, though.

You from the left coast? In my experience, you people love them. Us closer to the right coast usually share our opinion. Crazy stuff

You from the left coast? In my experience, you people love them. Us closer to the right coast usually share our opinion. Crazy stuff

Pittsburgh, pa. Made a special trip (literally walked 3 miles ha) to in and out when I was in Vegas a few years back. We took burgers to go too for the walk back ha

I have never had an In and Out burger. But I have to say I am pretty easy to please when it comes to food. But probably wouldnt like the price from the sounds of it haha.
 
I can't understand why people are complaining about the price. On the West Coast it's a bargain to get a meal for six bucks. It's probably the most overrated burger on the planet, though. I've lived in CA my entire life so I may be biased but the stuff there is nothing special.
 
Been following Carb Back Loading diet for over a year and I've leaned out while getting way stronger...and not to mention eating the best food possible. it WORKs!
 
So I just got home from getting probably 4 pounds of cooked pork chops for free haha. A facebook friend of mine posted how he had 5 pounds of pork chops cooking and only needed 1. Went there and ate 3 pork chops. Then left with 2 more for later. Post poning trying to cook (ultra low carb)coconut shrimp till a little later. Cant wait to have some. Probably my favorite seafood.

Yup, tried to make it. Probably went in with too high expectations. Was decent and might make it again not sure.

I made them for the first time a couple weeks ago. they're definitly good, I find that the more coconut I can coat them with, the better. Also I think itll help if I find a really good ULC sauce to dip them in...thats whats its missin i think

I am definitely trying. After watching CT Fletcher's youtube videos its hard not to get pumped about arms haha. That and its hard not to laugh. So over the top he is. My arms are pretty lacking. Been neglected so they have some catching up to do. Might have to employ an Arnold method and start wearing sleeveless shirts. Even though I HATE that.

Ya at the end I started doing flour, egg, coconut, egg, coconut haha. Would have had a decent amount of flour and coconut leftover otherwise. A good sauce would have been good. Might try hot sauce next time.

Today is going to be back. Hard to pick a favorite workout but damn back it fun. Get to load up a bar with a bunch of plates then just grip and rip. So much power involved in back movements. Only wish I could see my back all the time like chest haha. Going to try out some liquid grip I bought recently. My bag of chalk basically exploded in my gym back haha.

A little anxious for Saturday night. Should be a good party. Probably going to get out of hand in some way. Havent been drunk in a while. Plus the people having the party basically sent out a text that said invite anybody haha. So if you havent heard back from me by Monday...

Been messaging with this girl Robyn(I know weird spelling) from the dating website. Kind of iffy on her. Seems pretty cool and would be fun to hang out with. Only has 1 pic up on the website which she has an explaination for but the pic is well... It shows her face and her cleavage(big boobies). Was kind of wondering how the rest of her looked. Found her facebook page easily(display name was her name) and none of the pics(I could see) went below her boobs. Usually means they are trying to hide something. Granted none of my pics are all that recent, BUT I never take pics.
 
My eggs are genetically really long, and my torso stocky. Bad combo. I kill arms and they don't grow. There is a Db at my gym whose pretty big, he's 4 years older and been lifting longer, but not all that strong for how big he is. Anyways I decided I need bigger arms than him to keep my alpha male status right? Hahaha. That's my motivation in my mind at least. And my tris are holding my bench back...

Haha got to have some motivation. Had a few females in there even though the place was a little empty. Doesnt hurt the work out too much. Plus Hector came and lifted. Apparently he told the front desk if he saw me he was going to kick my ass haha. The leg workout I gave him put a hurting on him. Says he cant remember being so sore.

Deadlifts top set was 530 for 3 reps hold last rep. Tried this liquid grip stuff. Pretty much gone after deadlifts. So far not impressed with it.
Deadow rows 3 sets of 8 reps 70/80/80
DB rows dead stop 3 sets of 8 with 120s. Highest DB the place has.
Stretchers 2 sets of 12 reps 80/90
Reversed leaning back lat pulldowns with wide neutral grip. 3 sets of 12 reps with 100 pounds. By far the most I have EVER felt my lats. Showed Hector and he said "damn why you making me use heavy weight" and then said "I am adding that to my back workout" haha. Wish more people were like him.
Supported rows machine 3 sets of 10 100/115/130
DB shrugs hold and flex at top for 3 seconds 3*12 80/80/80

Deadlifts felt easy. Definitely can do more but going to make it slow progress. Might throw random speed pull days in. Will be getting stronger in no time.

Spent some time talking sh1t with Hector. About the bunch of bs at the place. Too many people standing around talking and in the way. Almost went off on some kids on my arm day. Not enough people busting their ass. See a few every now and then. Makes me want to just tell them to leave and get out of the way haha. Saw a woman talking on the phone during her set of leg ext... WTF?!

So I figured since I did back I deserved an awesome post workout meal. 2 meals of jasmine rice, pot roast, and mashed potatoes. Later had 6 glazed donuts. Then a cherry turnover covered with strawberry ice cream haha. I ate very well tonight haha. Should be plenty ready to kill shoulders and arms tomorrow.
 
Nice dude. Yeah buddy. Perks of working out in a college gym with lots of chicks. Hahaha.

Lifts sound solid, leg day should hurt if your doing it right! Hahaha.
 
Saturday did shoulders and arms. Pretty good workout. Dont feel like typing it up. Probably wont be doing it again though. Basically 2 workouts slammed into 1.

After that went home and ate. Then went to a party and got drunk off my ass. No real other way to describe it. Only 2 shots of Kraken(terrible stuff), but had probably 20 jelly shots and 2 vodka/cokes. Not going to pretend I remember everything that happened. I will say I walked through everyone in the house shirtless to change shirts. Also had another half Asian claim I couldnt possible be as big as I am without injecting myself SOOO I showed everyone in the room my ass cheek haha. A LOT of the girls who said they were coming were no shows. Then a group of like 10 guys showed up. It really didnt change much most of the girls there were pretty blah or couldnt appreciate "Drunk Tom" anyway haha. I guess it did help me establish my limit I guess. Didnt do anything I would say I regret.

Today was supposed to hit legs with another guy but he was a no show. Dont exactly have a way of contacting. Oh well damn good workout anyway.

Lying leg curls 4 sets of 8 reps with the last 1 having 2 drop sets of 8 reps 120/120/120/120-80-50
Squats: 45*20, 135*10, 225*5, 275*5, 315*5, 345*5, 370*5, 325*5
Leg press 3 sets of 10 reps with 5 plates 3 second negative drive weight up
Stiff leg deadlifts with 25s 2 sets of 10 reps with 245
Leg ext 3 sets of 25 reps
